Terms Associated with Wholesale Food Products

Grocery stores and restaurants rely on wholesale food product suppliers to keep their shelves stocked and their customers happy. Some specialize in one type of product, such as meat, dairy or snack foods. Others focus more on supplying items to specialty restaurants, whether it’s Mexican, Italian, gourmet cuisine or health foods. There are also wholesale stores that sell directly to the public, offering shoppers the opportunity to purchase various types of foods at a discount off retail prices. Often, wholesalers sell in bulk quantities, allowing customers to buy at an even greater savings. These are a few terms associated with wholesale food products and suppliers.

Artisan – A description of certain gourmet and specialty food products that are made in smaller batches from the finest ingredients. Artisan items are rarely sold in bulk but are carried by wholesalers that specialize in supplying elite restaurants and food boutiques.

Organic – For a beef or poultry product to be labeled organic, it must be free of all antibiotics and growth hormones, and be made from animals raised in a free-range environment, and fed only organic feed. Organic vegetables must be grown without the aid of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Health food wholesalers specialize in organic products.

Confection – Usually applied to desserts or snack foods, a confection can be any dish with sweet ingredients.

Wholesale Food Protection Program – Many state health departments have created protection programs to make certain that the foods retailers and shoppers buy are clean and safe for consumption.

Wholesale distributors that sell food products give their clients discounted rates when they purchase large orders of seafood, barbecue, healthy snacks, and other types of foods. Suppliers might carry a wide range of products made by manufacturers and farmers. This gives grocery stores and restaurants access to a supply of the products that they can sell to their customers.
Some of the wholesale food product distributors might choose to focus on certain types of products. For instance, one might choose to only sell organic snacks that appeal to health conscious consumers. Others might choose to focus on the types of foods associated with Mexican, Italian, or American cuisine.
The advantage of buying diet beverages, gourmet snacks, meats, and desserts from a wholesale company is that you might qualify for bulk discounts. If, for instance, you purchased enough steaks or gourmet coffees in a month, then the supplier would give you a cheaper price than clients that did not purchase as much. These bulk discounts can help groceries and restaurants keep their prices down to attract more customers.
Although buying products at discounted prices can help a business succeed, it also needs to find wholesalers that have reliable services and high quality goods. A specialty grocery that sells nutritional supplements, fresh bread from the bakery, and raw dairy products will have customers that demand the highest quality. You can often research the quality of products by searching the Internet for reviews written by other people who buy them from wholesalers and retail stores.
